The belts: Loose belts could be the reason why your Maytag top load washer doesn't spin properly. To correct that problem, you will need to adjust the belts by moving the pump to your right when you are facing the pump. If the belts are worn out you should replace them with new ones.
Springs & Slides: The springs & slides are use to adjust the belt tension. There are 2 plates used to mount the motor. The motor gets bolted to the top plate and the 4 slides get install on the plate. The bottom plate has 2 tracks that the slides glide on them. The 2 springs will adjust the plates to give the belts the proper tension.
When the belts are replaced, the tracks in the motor mounting plates should be cleaned and properly grease. This way the slides could glide easily to adjust the belts.
Another reason why the drum in the washer is not turning at the proper speed could be because a piece of clothing could have fallen between the drum and the tub and is holding the drum from spinning properly.
Need model #. It really depends on how machine is designed as to what problems may be.

Hello rockhead255 ,
I'm an owner like you and will try to help.
Error code 10 states Unbalance or cabinet hit detected during final spin, which prevented the spinner from exceeding 500 rpm
Did you notice if you took some large tub swings as the washer tried to spin up?
I suspect a Clutch malfunction. Pump the water out of the tub with the Board Output Test with the drain pump in service mode. With the wash tub empty open the lid and see if you can rotate the wash basket CCW with one finger. You mentioned “”Tub does not turn by hand””. Is that in the CCW direction?
You should be able to rotate the wash basket with your pinky finger with very little force. The wash basket will not rotate CW. What amount of rotational resistance do you detect in the CCW direction? With the error 10 reported I would drop the clutch out of the machine per my step by step procedure at this post. Try the One-Way roller clutch bearing clean up and re-lube as I discuss in that post and see if you can restore the machine to normal Spin operation. Once you drop the clutch out of the machine we will have a better feel for the issue.
You can try the TDS check in the SM but I feel it is a Clutch issue at this point of troubleshooting. Good troubleshooting using the machines diag code listing.
Post back if you havd need additional questions or help.
